XDR
An evolution of the EDR that cross-references signals from workstations, the network, email and the cloud in a single tool.
An XDR broadens monitoring beyond computers alone, by gathering signals coming from the network, email, identities and the cloud. The goal is to reconstruct the full course of an attack, which often crosses several of these domains. It is a tool for security professionals.
